Barca News
With the title in their pockets, the three remaining matches against FC Barcelona in La Liga have become of vital importance to players who have been sidelined from Xavi Hernandez so much throughout the season and who are in danger of not continuing in the team next season.
However, Barcelona showed a very bad picture in the match that took place yesterday at the Jose Zorrilla stadium against Valladolid and lost 3-1.
The performance of three players in the match left Xavi completely frozen and he no longer trusted that these guys could be useful to his project in the 23/24 season and for this reason he conveyed his consent to the board of directors by selling them in the summer market.
Eric Garcia
Undoubtedly, the big disappointment in the game in Valladolid last night. The Catalan was used by Xavi as a defensive midfielder, replacing Busquets.
Garcia was imprecise in passing, slow in movement and barely extracted balls, it could be said that Eric missed his last chance last night to convince the coach that he had the qualities to be important in Barcelona.
In addition to all this, the former Manchester City player committed the penalty kick that allowed the Valladolid team to widen the difference in the score.
Frank Kessie
The Ivorian came on at half-time to replace Sergi Roberto and although he had over 45 minutes to present himself, the player’s performance was again very disappointing and with several midfielders on the club’s radar, Kessé squandered the last chance. him last night.
Ferran Torres
The former Manchester City player had half an hour to show his attacking virtues and, barely touching the ball, went completely unnoticed in FC Barcelona’s attacks.
With the league already won, many expected Ferran and Ansu Fati to start in these final three games of the season, but his substitution against Valladolid shows just how little Xavi Hernandez has faith in the Spanish winger.
